##### Methods inherited from GIcon (4)

###### g_icon_equal

Checks if two icons are equal.

###### g_icon_hash

Gets a hash for an icon.

###### g_icon_serialize

Serializes a `GIcon` into a `GVariant`. An equivalent `GIcon` can be retrieved back by calling `g_icon_deserialize()` on the returned value. As serialization will avoid using raw icon data when possible, it only makes sense to transfer the `GVariant` between processes on the same machine, (as opposed to over the network), and within the same file system namespace.

since: 2.38

###### g_icon_to_string

Generates a textual representation of `icon` that can be used for serialization such as when passing `icon` to a different process or saving it to persistent storage. Use `g_icon_new_for_string()` to get `icon` back from the returned string.

since: 2.20

###### Gio.Emblem:icon

The actual icon of the emblem.

since: 2.18

###### Gio.Emblem:origin

The origin the emblem is derived from.

#### Signals
